Yes, the Java 11 adoption is still very low. It was around 30% last time I have seen the stats. Around 60% of users still run Java 8. With such a state it does not make sense to drop the Java 8 compatibility without really serious reasons which we IMHO do not have.
On a separate note, a few weeks ago we discussed moving to Java 11 in the default container tags (`latest`, `stable` and so on). Even in this case we were far from having a consensus, because it would require a coordinate update of agents and controllers by many Jenkins users.
